Unit 1B- Cellular Transport, Photsyn & Respiration Flashcards
Glycolysis
anaerobic process in which glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvic acid
fermentation
anaerobic process in which either lactic acid or alcohol is produced
Krebs cycle
process in aerobic respiration that takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria; 2 ATP, NADH, FADH2, and CO2 are produced; AKA citric acid cycle
chlorophyll
green pigment that captures the suns energy
stroma
fluid portion of the chlorplast
light dependent reactions
AKA light reactions; reactions in photosynthesis that split a molecule of water into H+ and oxygen; takes place on the thylakoid membrane
light independent reactions
AKA dark reactions and Calvin cycle; reactions in photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide enters and makes glucose; takes place in the stroma
ATP synthase
enzyme used in making ATP
electron transport chain
process in aerobic respiration that hydrogen ions give up their electrons to help build ATP; takes place on the cristae of the mitochondria; produces 32 ATP
photosystem
light collecting unit of the chloroplast
thylakoid membrane
part of the chloroplast where the light reactions take place
active transport
transport of materials across a membrane from low to high; requires energy (ATP); examples - endocytosis and exocytosis
passive transport
transport of material across a membrane from high to low; does not require energy; examples- diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
lipid bilayer
main component of the plasma (cell) membrane
cytoplasmic streaming
movement of the cytoplasm within a cell
endocytosis
type of active transport; moving materials into the cell from low to high; examples- pinocytosis and phagocytosis
exocytosis
type of active transport; moving materials out of the cell from low to high; examples - hormones or waste leaving the cell
phagocytosis
type of endocytosis; moving food/large particles into the cell from low concentration to high concentration
pinocytosis
type of endocytosis; moving water/liquid into the cell from low to high concentration
isotonic solution
dynamic equilibrium is established immediately; the concentration of solutes is equal on both sides of the cell; the cell stays the same; good for animal cells
hypertonic solution
concentration of solutes is higher on the outside than on the inside of the cell; the cell will shrink; causes plasmolysis in plant cells- bad for both plant/animal cells
hypotonic solution
concentration of solutes is lower on the outside than on the inside of the cell; the cell will swell - animals cells lyse/plant cells create turgor pressure - good for plant cells bad for animal cells
